Automated Palletizing Systems
Consistent, stable pallet loads at line speed, without heavy repetitive lifting.
What it is
A palletizer stacks cases, bags, bundles or totes onto pallets in a programmed pattern. Robotic palletizers use an articulated or gantry robot with an end-of-arm tool such as a vacuum, clamp or fork gripper. One robot can serve several lines and switch patterns by recipe. Conventional layer palletizers form complete layers with mechanical devices and suit high, steady rates on a single product.
A complete cell includes infeed conveyors, pallet dispensing, slip sheet handling, guarding and controls. Depalletizers reverse the process to feed products or empty containers into a line.
Where it fits
Palletizing fits food and beverage, feed and seed, chemicals, building materials, packaging and consumer goods plants. It is a common first automation project because the task is well defined, the lifting is heavy and repetitive and the labor savings are easy to measure.
Our role
We sell, install and service palletizing equipment and the conveyors that connect it. Our team reviews product dimensions, pallet patterns, line rates and floor space, coordinates guarding, controls and utilities, then installs and commissions the cell. After handover we support new patterns, new SKUs and maintenance.
Because our team also handles related equipment, this scope can be packaged with neighboring systems under one point of contact. We work nationwide from our headquarters in Sioux Falls, SD. We support owners, plant managers, engineers and general contractors from first layout through ongoing service.
Our process
-
Scope
We review drawings, site conditions, loads and schedule, then confirm what the project needs.
-
Specify
We recommend equipment and layouts, coordinate manufacturers and price the complete package.
-
Install
Our field teams deliver, install and commission the equipment in coordination with your GC and trades.
-
Support
After handover we provide service, adjustments, parts coordination and expansions.
Frequently asked questions
Robotic or conventional palletizer?
Robotic palletizers are flexible and compact and can serve several lines or mixed SKUs. Conventional palletizers suit very high, steady rates on one product. Product, rate and floor space drive the choice.
How many lines can one robot handle?
Depending on rates and layout, one robot can often palletize two or more lines, each building its own pallet.
Do you supply the conveyors and wrapper?
Yes. We coordinate infeed and outfeed conveyors, pallet handling, guarding and stretch wrap integration so the end of line works as one system.
What utilities does a cell need?
Typically electrical power and compressed air, plus floor space for guarding and pallet staging. We confirm requirements during scoping.
